We had 12cm of snow overnight and early morning on the 2nd. 15cm fell on nearby Barnhill. There was no way I was making it to work on the Monday, with all roads iced up and stuck cars blocking all routes to work. I managed to work from home instead fortunately. At lunchtime I had a gorgeous walk over Barnhill. There is also a short video of a snowy walk on Barnhill. On the 3rd and 4th I did make it to work and explored a snowy Horsenden Hill. Plenty of sledgers up there having fun. The nature reserve, alive with butterflies and meadow flowers in the summer time, quite a different place covered in snow. On the way back I also found a 'snow girl' near the office which was rather suspiciously dressed to look like a prostitute by the roadside! As the snow melted, overnight frost created long needle like crystals and all sorts of footprints were left by humans and animals.

| My new car with a thick layer of snow on it. I didn't get very far in the commute. The roads were lethal. Accidents and impassable slopes everywhere. | A bench with a comfy looking snow cushion on it. | A Christmassy looking christmas tree. Just 6 weeks late... | I think it's safe to say the Jubilee line wasn't running north of Wembley. The tracks are buried under the snow in places. | Snow stuck to the side of a branch in a conical sculptural way. | Ascending through the woods towards the summit of Barnhill. The snow has turned them into a magical winter wonderland! |
